Zongman: Is It Okay For High School Students To Know How To Breathe?

Zao Menyun patted Yukinoshita Yukino's slightly trembling shoulder.

"I don't know if you can remember now. When I first came to the service department, I found that you and Hikigu were very similar to me. The only difference is that you want to change the world, and I want to adapt to this The world, that guy in Hikigu... wants to live in his own world."

"I don't want to persuade you, and I can't say whether your thoughts are right or wrong, but... we are already friends, let's put these unhappy things behind, think about everyone in the service department... Yuigahama is still waiting for you."

Xiao Yukino stopped trembling, and instantly returned to the current Yukinoshita Yukino, and then leaned her head sideways on Zao Menyun.

"The nightmare is over, no matter what kind of cold winter you have experienced, warm spring will come!"

"kindness...."

Outside, Yukinoshita Yukino's expression kept changing, and finally turned into a smile, tightly sticking to the back of Zao Menyun beside her, but at this time, Zao Menyun turned sideways subconsciously, facing the sleeping Akane Otome .

As the scene changed again, Zao Menyun's consciousness suddenly became blurred, and then fell into darkness.

A dazzling light flashed, and he opened his eyes again. Zao Menyun saw himself in the church, with Yukinoshita, Yuigahama, Natsume, and Hikiguya sitting below him, and his two big brothers and his father, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, sitting in the front.

Turning around, Obituqian, dressed in white gauze, walked slowly towards her.

"What's the situation? Where am I?"

Akane Otome came to Zao Menyun and said with a smile, "We were engaged when we were young. After graduating from high school, we can already get married."

Looking at Akane Otome wearing a wedding dress in front of her, Zao Menyun became more and more strange as she thought about it.

"Yotome, didn't you reject this political marriage and seek your own freedom?"

Akane Otome had a puzzled look on her face, and then she chuckled lightly. "What's the pursuit of freedom? I'm always by your side."

"I've been waiting for this day since the moment my family told me about my engagement."

Zao Menyun gritted his teeth, then directly grabbed the hand of Otome, and ran towards the outside of the church.

No one chased them out...Maybe those were all Akane's fantasy.

Sure enough, it was the same as Yukinoshita's dream. There is only one church in this world, and there is a blurry scene outside.

"Akane Otome, what did you think back then...?"

Zao Menyun turned his head and looked seriously into Akane's eyes. He didn't know why Akane in his dream dreamed of the two getting married according to the arrangement of the family.

Suetuqian didn't speak, but quietly looked at the man in front of her.

Later, Zao Menyun saw Akane Otome getting smaller and smaller, and finally turned into a little girl of 6 or 7 years old.

Beside the little girl, there is also a little boy with black hair and purple pupils.

"Xiaoyun, when will you take me to see the monster you mentioned!" The girl's childish voice rang in Zao Menyun's ear.

"Hmm... nothing to see."

The little boy seemed to dislike the little girl very much, but the little girl kept pestering her about monsters.

"Hey, Xiaoyun, let's go over there and play together." The little girl held the little boy's arm.

"I'm not going, I don't want to go." The boy ran out, trying to stay away from these people.

And the curious girl also chased her out, Zao Menyun remembered this, this was the first time he met Akane Suobi not long ago, and also the first time he encountered... such a monster.

Zao Menyun looked at the little girl who ran out after him, and the two bodyguards hiding in the dark.

That time, Zao Menyun saw despair, the little girl behind her fainted, and the bodies of two bodyguards in front of her. Had it not been for the sudden appearance of the Onmyoji, he might have died.

The onmyoji took him away, and the people from Otome's family also took Akane away. Zao Menyun, who was watching all this in a dream, suddenly widened his eyes.

He clearly saw that at that time, Akane Otome was not in a coma, but was behind him, seeing from the beginning to the end behind that young figure.

"That's why...she can have such a dream, so...she has always believed in me?" Zao Menyun came to the side of Akane who was a child.

"Thank you for always believing in me."

The scene changed again and came to the house of Akane Yatome. At this time, 12-year-old Akane Yatome was watching her mother hugging her newborn younger sister, Akane Yatome.

"Qi...why did you change? I have always been very optimistic about you and want to train you!"

"Mother... I'm just." Akane Otome silently lowered her head.

"It's because of the kid from the Zaomen family, right? He's an ominous person. Even onmyojis may not be able to protect him, so it's better not to associate with him in the future."

Akane Suetu raised her head and looked at her mother firmly.

"I don't want to, he's my friend. I just want to... help him!"

The eyes of Otome's mother finally cooled down, and then she looked at Otome Ai in her arms, then looked at Otome Akane and said.

"If you insist on doing this, then I'll make it happen for you. I remember that before you were born, we did make a verbal engagement with the Zaomen family, but because of Zao Menyun's problems, the matter fell through."

"In the future, we will do our best to cultivate Otome Ai, and you... can go wherever you want."

Akane and the family had a quarrel, not because of any marriage contract, but because of the family's attitude towards her. A disobedient heir, meaningless. In this case, it can be regarded as the object of marriage to make the best use of everything...

"I don't even know...so that's why you left?"

Zao Menyun, who had been watching in the dream, suddenly stood in front of Akane who was about to leave.

"We are still friends. Yiyi...Xiaoqian." Zao Menyun said with a smile.

"Family engagements, family heirs, etc., you don't have to worry about anything now! You are just Akane Otome, my first friend! Thank you for believing in me.... Always believe in me."

"So, don't worry about those annoying things. Actually...I have always wanted to get back to the way you were before, but I just don't know how to do it. Anyway, you have joined the service department, let's spend time together. This happy high school life."

Akane, who was 12 years old, suddenly changed back to her current appearance, and then raised her head to look at Zao Menyun.

"Yun, when will you take me to see the monster you saw?"

"This weekend, I will take you to see a cat demon."

"kindness...."

.....

Outside, Zao Menyun turned over again and lay flat on the bed. Beside him, two people hugged Zao Menyun's shoulders respectively and fell into a real sleep.

Mengyao breathed a sigh of relief, and then covered the three of them with quilts.

"Humans will catch a cold if they sleep directly, I am such a good monster!"

Then Mengyao looked at the three of them with a smile on her face. "Once the illusion of the dream demon is cracked, everyone's spiritual power will be improved. You are a blessing in disguise!"

"Ugh...I'd better go back to Natsume-sama first, the matter is over, I should get my name back."
